Play Now, Suffer Later
You know, in my 31 years on this beautiful planet I have had the pleasure of learning a lot of life lessons. Some of those lessons came to me in some beautifully simplistic ways, others came in the form of me being arrogant, rebellious and extremely hard headed. Perhaps the biggest lesson I had to learn was if you play now, you’re gonna suffer later.

Peer Pressure: Don’t Let It Happen To You
When I was in middle school the teachers and counselors really seemed adamant about instilling a sense of individuality in us young teenagers. Though they all wanted us to get along and have a sense of oneness, they also imparted on us the importance of not being regulated to sameness and the negative consequences that it comes with. This is where the importance of peer pressure was expressed and rightfully so. One of the biggest problems we have as human beings is being subjected to peer pressure. It eats us alive and one of the worse things about it is we are not aware of all of the forms it takes on and how truly dangerous it is.
